    How are Operators preparing to make use of the evolving IoE space, and more importantly, what is the business model that they prefer/follow?

    I should say operator must benefit of IOT and exploit the new opportunities and this new area as a new revenue stream because for all traditional services(Voice& SMS) is going down and will not last for a long time.

    Operators should utilize their network infrastructure and their interconnect and network agreements in order to do the following

    1. Provide connected devices with the required connectivity 
    2. Provide infrastructure for SMEs to enable and run IOT business
    3. Provide Big Data implementations to help SMEs achieving their targets 
    4. Provide analytics services and insight for businesses
    5. Invest in related projects and startups
